The truth of the matter is the real industry is in LA and the cream of the talent is there.
-
I'm starting to get old. I want to eat some hamburgers and just relax.
-
I'm reading scripts, desperately wanting to work. I've set a couple of things up for next year.
-
There's a tendency in this Hollywood machinery to take on too much. You end up not being able to give everything you want.
-
If I'd seen a grown man beating a crippled boy, of course I'd intervene. If my father died and left my mother destitute, it's your instinct to take care of her. So when I started to think about it in those terms, it started to make sense to me.
-
I find aspects of the industry tedious and hard to manage.
-
I ride the same bike that I rode on 'Sons,' a Harley Dyna Super Glide. You know, I wish I wasn't the guy who rode the same bike he rode on his show, but the problem is there's no better bike out there.
-
Being at the mercy of the acting profession, in the early days of one's career, is really brutal and feels like you have no control over your life, at all.
-
A lot of my friends are gangsters. Not like gangsters - well, yeah, all sorts of levels of criminality - but not the types that are preying on innocent people. I have no interest in the type of criminality that has no respect for collateral damage.
-
Since I was young, I've been aware that I need time to myself to process everything.
-
Being an actor is fantastic because you get to live your dreams and all of that, but I always think it's slightly irritating when you hear from the outside world, and people are like, 'Yeah, well, if I was an actor, and all I had to do was look good, I could be that ripped, too.'
-
I realise few people get to live the life they always wanted, but I'm so neurotic, I don't really think about it. I'm too busy thinking, 'I hope I don't screw up my next scene.'
-
English people are always surprised I'm English.
-
I think, most of the time, fame is just an inconvenience that needs to be negotiated around to get done what you're actually trying to do.
-
I don't think I even have a clear perspective of how I'm depicted in the media.
-
Back when I was a kid, I used to tear pages out of magazines and stick them on my bedroom wall - I had the Eternity ads on my wall and the CK One ads. My whole childhood, those were on my wall, and cut to 20 years later, being asked to be the face of one of Calvin Klein's new fragrances is kind of surreal.
-
In the early part of your career you are always compared with somebody until you can stand on your own two feet.
-
I think world creation and monster creation and all of that stuff is exciting as a secondary element of storytelling. When it becomes more important than storytelling, I get very nervous, and you sort of lose me a little bit.
-
And I just want to work with good directors and good people.
-
I bought a house, and I've been decorating it.
-
Right before I got 'Sons of Anarchy,' I actually quit acting for 18 months and didn't read a single script, and I wrote a film. I felt like I needed to do something that I had control over, as an artist, and also just do something where I felt like I had some control over my life, as just a human, out in the world.
-
I love hip hop music, I make hip hop music.
-
There are definitely worse people to be compared with. I think Brad Pitt makes interesting decisions.
-
I'm currently doing Undeclared an American TV show set in a college. It just got aired and got massive ratings so hopefully that'll screen in the UK soon.
